Art Improvement [2001 - 2016]

Hi!
Today is kind of a special date for me because exactly one year ago I finally had the motivation and courage to start drawing again. And to celebrate me I thought to make an improvement video of all of my drawings since 2001.
I started drawing Manga in 2001 when I was 10 years old. I was kinda inspired by Pokemon and Digimon. And I gave every girl I drew a name though these names were so stupid…
2003 i got my first „Learn to draw“ book so I improved a bit. I was really into magical girl anime at this time.
2004 I started to care a bit more about backgrounds but most of the time I was to lazy to draw them…
2005 I wanted to draw more boys. They look bad, I still can’t draw boys .
Somehow there are no pictures from 2006.
2007 I started to uploas my pictures to a german fanart page (Animexx). I thought my drawings were so good and was kinda frustrated because I didn’t really got any comments. Now I think I know why… Just look at the drawings
2008 I finally got my first drawing tablet. A super small wacom bamboo. I thought because I could draw digitally now I would be super good and finally get some reactions to my drawings… no… the program I used was so bad. I was unable to draw on the computer with this program. But after some time a got an old version of Photoshop and it was at least a little better than the program before (which name I don’t know anymore). But I couldn’t draw outlines on the pc so I had to scan my handdrawn pictures. Unfortunately my scanner wasn’t the best.
2009 I learned more about the effects I could create in Photoshop. I started to color my outlines though their quality still wasn’t good.
Between 2010 and 2015 I didn’t draw at all so I had to start learning it all again from the beginning.
2015 I finally started again, yeah! I watched a lot of speedpaint videos on youtube and finally got my inspiration back. I was super motivated and created my DeviantArt Account. But i had to learn it all again. I couldn’t draw one single clean line anymore.
Now in 2016 I’m really drawing a lot. More or less every day. I have the feeling with every picture I become a little better. But there is still a long long way to go.

[@ichxgofuri6642]

[@allaboutants7715]

I fricken love vampire night

[@averyarmyexo-lcaratetc4864]

+all about ants vampire. knight*

[@limitlesslizzie]

Seems like it. Although the anime and manga are both magnificent, I didn't like how the Vampire Knight manga had ended.

[@messytessyc1930]

Ichigo Furi it not just you 😜

Mai Hime

[@sweetbeanie2575]

Carissa Martin the song scares me sorry 😱😧😲😢

[@luckycharms4880]

How stupid of me, when I was younger I used to think that someone's ability on drawing improves depending on his/her age or maturity. Now I'm older I realized that drawing skill itself doesn't improve unless you make effort and spend time for it. Knowledge itself doesn't increase that skill unless you applied it. Now I'm making up those times that I wasted..

[@pja_shitarts]

Lol 😂 same here. I used to think when I was a child

[@AmyLionheartArtistry]

That motivation and courage will help you in your journey of life, always. Stay strong and don't ever give up hope. I admire it when people show how much they've improved over the years, they have found their own style, I should say... I admire your ambition. I've always found that looking at your old artwork will give you that confidence boost... Because the evidence is all in the work from the past.

[@maihimeart]

Thank you so much!

[@AnnaXie]

I wasn't even born back then! But most of the anime\manga you've drawn are ones I loved to watch ead!

[@weakgait]

OMG THEY BE DOING ART MY ENTIRE LIFE

[@KeyPlot3897]

[@limitlesslizzie]

Wow, your art has really improved over the years! I feel as though my art hasn't been progressing too well, but I finally started drawing for a hobby only around 3-4 years ago. Thanks for the inspiration~

[@tsukeyi]

[@nerdloser9987]

The fact that you've been drawing for 15 years really inspires me since I've been drawing for almost 3 years and I hope to be as good as you someday! :3

[@mystopience]

When everyone drawing anime does it on the computer and it looks amazing Me: I WANT TO DRAW WITH PENCILS AND PENS AND MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THAT

[@xxbloodycharaxx336]

When artist like us look back at our CRINGY drawings and look at our drawings now and then the reaction you get is priceless because you can't believe how much you changed over the years you started drawing to now ^w^

[@m4lukaa]

Can you do art supplies Because I like your drawing :)

[@sarahpanda3252]

Hey, which pogramm do you use? Please answer, if it's paint tool sai, could u like give me some tipps? I can't work with it, have some problems...I would be very thankfull❤

[@underslept4098]

completely irrelevant story, but I am a major fujoshi and I have a sketchbook full of pure gay. one time I left it on the counter and my older sister grabbed it and started flipping through it. I noticed when she was like 5 pages in and I frickin rugby tackled her, tore the sketchbook out of her hands, and locked it in my room. there was nothing too bad or really anything that would need censor bars but still.

[@nayomiesloan1497]

How do you go to 0:11 to 8:00 030

[@troytaylor2600]

[@maihimeart]

Thank you! I think it's funny to see my old drawings! But it also motivates me to keep on working!

[@HannahGlitterLife]

[@SweetDarkling]

[@tomatoisepic]

distu4bed MOON PRISM POWER MAKE UP

[@rainboooms]

Dis music makes me wanna cri ITS SO SCARY ;-;

[@creeperkaoru8112]

tbh you really improve a lot.I just wanna say good job:)))))))))))))

[@polinasart5925]

You improved a TON wow!!

[@rattth0]

U improved sooo fast...

[@kawaiipotato397]

Um probably too late but um I don't wanna be rude but I would say that um some had wrong proportions but good improvement

[@deadfat4071]

Kawaii Potato proportion in anime is not much of a thing...

[@yuridrawsstuff3555]

Kaley Arts Uh, have you seen good anime art? It can so have proportions. Stop judging an entire art style based on a few drawings.

[@jxxthemxmx3397]

Kaley Arts Anime still does have proportions but just stretched.

[@lukewarmmayonnaise7318]

I'd like if you put your age and the year, please. Other than that, awesome feed! You really improved!~

[@ozmoz]

That Sailor Moon Drawing is so cute ♡

[@alia3688]

This inspires me that i can improve ima go drawww nooow!!

[@-AHaGiaHan]

The moment 9:26 you see midori gurinu!!!!!!!! ( Kubrick scouts voice)

[@tanorexic]

I started drawing a few months ago and I draw pretty cute! (U DRAW BETTER THAN ME) 😝😝

[@sanstheskeleton7541]

LeLEYLANIE Ramos I draw chibi and it turns out cute. im 6 lol.

[@tanorexic]

Sans The Skeleton How do you know grammar if you're 6 (Well 7)

[@cult.leader]

My mom wants to get me a drawing tablet but I enjoy drawing on paper a lot more should I get a drawing tablet?

[@maihimeart]

If you like drawing on paper there is no need to change. And a tablet can be pretty expensive. But if you have the chance to draw digitally why not give it a try. Maybe you'll enjoy traditional and digital art.

[@pastelcupcake8069]

Awww you draw sooo good I'm 12 years old almost 13 you inspire me yayaya

[@pinkmnm7419]

I squealed when I saw Vampire Knight and Tokyo Mew Mew. Tokyo Mew Mew was the first anime I watched.

[@type_Kizuna]

Here's my boi 1:49 xD Tolle Zeichnungen ;)

[@Sntbrnrd]

2001 i wasnt even born yet😶😶😶😶your drawings are amazing

[@strongestwarriorinthegalax1138]

Wow! You've improved so much! What art program do you use?

[@wippersartchannel4166]

I should do this on my channel thanks for the inspiration

[@queennut180]

i really like your coloring its nice

[@myannai9115]

You should really focus on anatomy, you'll improve a lot that way. Gottfried Bammes is a good one, use his drawings as reference, you'll learn anatomy relatively fast.

[@markelizarde6545]

i cant draw anything but i can draw a kiddie style in 4 years im still practicing but nothing improvment :(

[@asuminna8321]

When did you start drawing?(meaning how old were you when you started to draw)

[@givemeawaffle9435]

Amazing!! I'm jealous ~

[@angelaalmodovar76]

The drawings look cute .

[@shinoalt6283]

Even if your art wasn't so great at the beginning, I can tell a lot of work was put when coloring!! (2003)

[@kit-chen8913]

I am wondering on what profession did you actually take

[@type_Kizuna]

So many old memories.. 💜

[@nyan113]

[@smithyd4630]

[@kirin8928]

What do you draw them on? Like the computer paper? It looks like you used a computer. If you could can you let me know what you used.

[@maihimeart]

I use paint tool sai for drawing on the pc. That's a drawing program.

[@kirin8928]

Thank you!

[@aj5774]

[@lilithfromgacha9045]

I guess your manga was good at 10 years old. It's just that your head shape was so weird and different.
